This is a fine Saint-Emilion of the old school, with lovely sumptuousness of fruit and tannins which were chewy when young, but are now mellowing to a wonderful, velvet plushness. The Château La Gaffelière vineyard is superbly-situated: oriented towards the south, and covering 25 hectares, 22 of which are in a single parcel between Châteaux Ausone and Pavie. Hillsides are calcareous clay, while the lower slopes are more sandy. The vineyard is planted with 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc.

Winemaking
After manual harvest, grapes from various parcels undergo separate vinification. Cold maceration precedes yeast inoculation for fermentation. Pump-over and punch-down are employed during maceration in thermo-regulated tanks. Malolactic fermentation occurs in barrels and stainless steel. Winter blending precedes oak barrel maturation, bottling 10-12 months.
